What Senti does differently

  • Pay per report: $5 for one, with no subscription and no sales call; plans when you track brands.
  • Every number opens the posts behind it, and every report says how many posts it labeled and how many it found.
  • Each post is labeled for sentiment, topic and intent by a language model, and you can correct any label.
  • Live examples on the home page are real reports, free to open.

Where Senti covers less

Fewer sources, a shorter history on a new report, three languages, and not real time on every platform. Read the honest answers.
